LeBron James was busy raising a championship banner at Quicken Loans Arena on Tuesday night, but the Cleveland Cavaliers star made sure to take care of the hometown guys across the street at Progressive Field.

The start time for Game 2 of the World Series has been moved up by an hour because there’s rain in the Cleveland weather forecast.

The game Wednesday night is now scheduled to begin at 7:08 p.m. EDT.
Major League Baseball announced the time shift Tuesday night midway through the Series opener between the Chicago Cubs and Indians.
There was no rain during Game 1 at Progressive Field.

Earlier, the lights at Progressive Field flickered during the bottom of the sixth inning in Game 1.

Cubs reliever Pedro Strop was about to throw a pitch to Roberto Perez when plate umpire Larry Vanover raised his arms and called timeout. A moment later, the stadium was fully bright again and play resumed.

Andrew Miller has pitched out of a bases-loaded, none-out jam in the seventh inning to protect Cleveland’s 3-0 lead over.

Indians ace Corey Kluber was lifted after Ben Zobrist’s leadoff single. Miller, the AL Championship Series MVP, walked Kyle Schwarber on a full count and gave up a single to Javier Baez on an 0-2 pitch.
That loaded the bases, but pinch-hitter Willson Contreras flied out to shallow center field and Addison Russell struck out on three pitches. David Ross also struck out, and Miller pumped his fist as he bounced off the mound.
Kluber yielded four hits and walked none in six-plus innings. The 2014 AL Cy Young Award winner fanned nine — eight in the first three innings.-Associated Press
